Grendel Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Tis kind of buried in that body of text, cracking bass though!
Noisyjon Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 This is not helping my Wal GAS and I would have it off you quick smart if I could afford it! So, Great bass and have a BUMP on me.
molan Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 Boring question but how much does it weigh? Just about ever Wal I've tried has been a good 10lbs+
adledman Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 yew is not a wood you see very often on a bass but it looks bloody awesome! one of the nicest i have seen in a good while. i will have a wal one day! just not this day unfortunately.

adledman Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) 8!!! thats rude! i have had a lot of basses but a wal is still my top bucket list bass. i heard a band in the early 80`s with a fretless wal and it sounded out of this world. i didnt even play at the time but remember it standing out as an awesome sound. cant see this hanging around long as its very pretty and what with being overhauled recently its got to be as good as buying new. drool drool. pray tell, what is the reason behind the dark one being the daddy?

roonjuice Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 I know what u mean! i was lucky when i got my single wal, (wendy) too. Bass with the most even output and tone string to string and fret to fret. sound engineers love it and regularly ask what comp im using!!!!! I only use it in the studio though, and i use it in every studio session unless some one specifies i play a differant bass god i love my wal!!!
TheGreek Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Bump for what is far too nice a bass not to sell..if I hadn't just bought one...
TheGreek Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I wish I had the cash - this is a lovely bass - I was looking for one for ages then two come along - TBH I prefer yours to the one I bought but this is always the case - you want what you don't have... I've no doubt that this will go in no time at all...
TheGreek Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I REALLY can't believe this is still here!!! Have a bump on me...
AndyTravis Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Sometimes I have a dream, and I'm Playing a Wal Mach1. Then I look in my dusty little empty wallet and cry tears of pain. Envious of whoever buys this. Bump for free, me x

dmccombe7 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 AGREE !! Just keep it. You should never sell a treasured bass only to regret the rest of your days. Good luck no matter what you decide. More Droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooools Dave
TheGreek Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 I think you should vet any potential buyers to see if they deserve to own such a beautiful bass..I so wish I had the money for this.. Bump
